| Kaleido Star -- Grrrrrrrr |

Okay, Peggy and I are about 12 episodes into the second season of Kaleido Star, and I find myself growing more and
more annoyed. As some folks here know, I have some theatre background -- three years'-plus of near-professional level backstage/crew/writer experience
with the Princeton Triangle Club, for those interested. And while I don't have any direct backstage experience with circuses, I do know a few things about
how they operate. And the combination of all this makes me want to scream when I watch what they've been doing on Kaleido Star in the second season. They're all freaking lunatics, and Sora is just
going "oh, okay" and doing what they tell her to do.
Am I missing something cultural here? (Or is it just massive ignorance on the writers' parts?) Because I simply cannot believe what I'm seeing. Half
the stunts these people pull should get them shut down for safety violations -- and Sora ought to beat the crap out of them for the other half. (Yes, I know,
not her personality. But I'm sooooo tempted to send Doug there to do the crap-beating for her.) The stuff they
get away with as if it were "normal" is frankly criminal, and my suspension of disbelief is pretty much shredded.

Design Goals,
End game Group tank for TF's with the ability to solo if things are slow.
Charecter background: To be honest, im not much into the whole roleplaying thing like i was years ago. But i love the medieval timeframe, Knights etc. And the idea of a giant Axe wielding armor clad warrior appeals to me greatly.
As for the cost, im basically talking unlimited, best possible however long it takes, whats the best this guy can be.
Here's the build as i see it. Blow it up as you see fit :>

...As I so painfully demonstrated on accident yesterday.
I was coming down the front steps of the house, as me and my b/f were going to get my plates renewed at the DMV. My foot found a patch of ice, and I promptly
slipped and fell hard on my butt, hitting my spine on the edge of the porch (which is concrete, along with the steps). I then slipped down the next few steps
on my butt.
So today, you'd think I'd gotten into a car accident with how much I am hurting. My spine hurts where I hit it, a LOT. My lower back hurts, my left
buttcheek hurts, the back of my right hip hurts, my right forearm hurts, and my neck hurts when I crane my head back. Took forever to fall asleep last night,
despite taking Excedrin. Took some ibuprofen a couple hours ago and that seems to be working a tiny bit.
I am currently firmly planted on the couch, with a pillow behind my back. I'm ok as long as I don't try to get up. Gee, work ought to be fun
tomorrow. Seven hours on my feet, hooray...
